Football season is starting. Always practice and rehearse scenarios prior to getting on the field. Be prepared, be safe. Thankful for our ATCs 🙏 for coordinating and ensuring best practices. UCSF Department of Orthopaedic Surgery

Always enjoy seeing the success stories of my patients getting back to their passion and sport! Best part of the job 🚴🏻‍♀️

We got 60 plus young student athletes through their pre-participation physicals today. And yes, we did use those strange devices around our necks ! Thanks William Berrigan, MD, RMSK and Kevin Wang for your help

Great job Charis! #sportsmedicine #physiatry

In this paper you can find recommendations for the clinician’s approach to management of FAIS with an algorithm that considers factors such as age, OA etc. Great teamwork! ‼️⬇️ Check it out ⬇️‼️

All residents and #sportsmedicine fellows, please consider submitting a case to this library. This will be a helpful learning tool to see a variety of #ultrasound pathology. Please reach out with any questions! S.Marmouz #MedEd

Thanks Erek Latzka MD, RMSK, honored to make it to the top of the list with all the excellent lectures this weekend…including your own on regulatory issues in biologics and key updates in the treatment of frozen shoulder…always learning! 👍🏻

MFAT is a great treatment option for OA but is it better than other biologics? arthroscopyjournal.org/article/S0749-…

Just published. Further RCT data indicating that both PRP and MFAT work for knee OA. However, again, MFAT is not superior to PRP. Because of this study and others, I recommend PRP for knee OA before considering MFAT or BMAC due to cost and ease of use. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

PRP dose matters. Check out our new systematic review in Arthroscopy Journal on knee OA PRP dosing. William Berrigan, MD, RMSK you put together a hell of a team!

How robust is data on PRP for knee arthritis? Based on this Fragility Index Meta Analysis in American Journal of Sports Medicine, it’s robust. -PRP better than visco -PRP trials more robust than other similar trials -Still need better insurance coverage ➡️ journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/03… Jacob Oeding, MS

Looking forward to serving as faculty for this session at #aapmr2024.

Excellent review by Zach Bailowitz MD, RMSK Reporting of protocols is necessary to understand its impact on outcomes Post-Injection Protocols For Knee Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review Of Randomized Controlled Trials - Journal of Cartilage & Joint Preservation cartilagejournal.org/article/S2667-…

Just published today. Our review discussing why platelet poor plasma is a better injection option than #PRP for muscle injuries. Included is a case series of baseball players I successfully treated with PPP. Hope this helps. George Raum, DO Charles Kenyon, DO, MS, CSCS journals.lww.com/acsm-csmr/abst…

Such a great event this year! Fun time working it

Interesting to see similar times to TKA for HA and CSI. PRP was not analyzed because of low population size but did have a smaller percentage that converted to TKA Time to Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) Post Intra-Articular Injection ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Frequent corticosteroid injection in shoulders with rotator cuff tear leads to upregulation of proteins and genes leading to adipogenesis and muscle atrophy, and downregulation of myogenic and inflammatory substances. See more on this topic here! journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

A single injection of PRP is successful for rotator cuff tendinopathy, even if just into the subacromial space demonstrating a low failure rate of only 12%! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
